His writing has appeared in Southwest Review, Texas Observer, the Texas Quarterly, and the New Mexico Quarterly.

One was included in Best American Short Stories, 1961 Three other short stories, two articles poems by ten different poets, and book reviews are also featured in the 112-page issue. A contrast of farcical comedy with wordly tragedy is offered by two of these stories, "Warm Beds, Toddies and All the Rest of It," and "Hornstein." The first, by Gregory A. Barnes, concerns village life in Africa, which Barnes knew thoroughly as a civil servant there. He reproduces the quaint local dialect which is both British in form yet native African in feeling. "Hornstein," by Annette Rottenberg, treats feeling a teacher-student relationship.

"The Field Glasses," the most ambitious story in the issue, is by Simon Grabowski. The author, who visited Albuquerque in March, wrote his story, set in the mountains of Scandinavia, in his native Danish. He himself worked on the translation with Faith Ingwersen. Chief among the poems are the translations from the Spanish of Antonio Machado by English poet Charles Tomlinson. These are among the poems published in book form this year by Oxford University Press both in the United States and England.

Tomlinson, a lecturer at the University of Bristol, was guest professor at the University of New Mexico during 1962-63 and poet-in-residence at the D. H. Lawrence ranch near Taos. The writer who signs himself F. Stanley and has published twenty-five books about the Southwest is really Father Stanley L.

F. Crocchiola who was once a parish priest Taos. Father Stanley, who started life in the Hell's Kitchen section of New York City, never forgot the brutality of the sidewalks of the Asphalt Jungle and has devoted his life to working with people to alleviate some of their suffering and to reduce crime, which brings him pretty close to Heaven, even during his lifetime on earth. He is now in Pep, Texas and his books of history of the Southwest are eagerly sought by collectors and used by university students who want know more about the region.
